    I thought most of the food was really good. Probably the best coconut shrimp and crab cake I've ever had.

    Fries were forgotten, sauce for fries was like sample taster size and not a real serving. Salad was wonderful but over-dressed.

    We had reservations at 7:15 and showed up on time. We were not seated until 8:10. I would not done here again for this fact alone. Honor your reservations and don't overbook your tables.

    We had a 7 pm reservation. We arrived before 7. At 7:15 I asked about our table. The VERY RUDE hostess said it will be “at least” another 20 minutes. We were seated an hour after our reservation. Why take a reservation if you cannot honor it!
